My idea is just one to fix the process. There also needs to be more automation/contractual langauge that would prevent trips from sitting uncovered for so long before trip coverage starts. And more automation in the ARCOS process of running through the award/decline process within a callout. The company sitting on trips doesn't do them any favors either when they have to triple pay to cover it. And sitting and skipping WS to go to IA costs the company more money even if they "forget" to mark that 23M7 was used. I don't think scheduling is nefarious in letting trips go uncovered (or sitting on people's schedule after declining an award) for long periods of time. I think it is simply a combination of incompetence and understaffing.

Like I said the company needs to clean up their act first, but even if/when they do there inevitably will still be flying that gets uncovered at the last minute that needs some sort of mechanism for rapid covering, with premium pay and with 23M7 due.
